Kinda Sorta Mexican-ish

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Is your week going well so far? Mine has been great! Since I taught this morning, I was free tonight to do some celebrating. Josh & I, our friends Mandi & Bryan, and Lindsay & P went out to the wonderful Gringos for dinner.

This is one of our favorite quick dinner spots. They have great, fresh Mexican-ish food with lots of healthy options. Oh and they now have beer now(this sign was too funny/cute not to take a picture of):

I ordered up a salad with black beans, grilled onions and peppers, salsa, cucumbers and guac:

I had fish tacos! You'd love them--homemade tilapia with onions, red and green peppers, sauteed until blackened, not fried, with a bit of queso blanco and black beans and spinach on the side! A lot of people do chipolte and cabbage, but I have this amazing local salsa full of veggies--it's Mexican food, the healthy duckie way!

Omg you and lindsay are totally freakin too cute (sassy n hot!) for words. OMG I WANT TO BE WITH YOU!!!!

Thx for saying what you said re blogger meetup. Some of those girls, i dont even know, so that's cool more blogs to stealth check out :) and i would LOVE it girl to meet up w/ you.

Hopefully one day the stars will align!

and why ppl leave neg comments, i dont get it. at all. Ever.

i know you've been blogging awhile and you probably have gotten them just b/c of your duration/career as a blogger but your blog is so safe, and friendly and kind, it would also be shocking if you did get them. you would never ever deserve that crap!

That looks like a great dinner! Yay for guac! Though I am a burrito gal, all the way! No celebrations here- would you believe that there is only one Mexican restaurant here? I am celebrating this weekend- most likely with an Amy's burrito. Does that count? I'll throw in a margarita too :P

Oh how fun!! I wish we had celebrated with mexican food, but we had to go out for a friend's 30th birthday at a french restaurant. And you would think that it wouldn't have been busy on cinco de mayo... it was packed, go figure! ;)

Haha I really didn't even acknowledge Cinco de Mayo I guess... when I used to work downtown we'd go out for Coronas or something but these days I forget what day it is half the time and no one drink Corona at the yoga studio... :-)

Delish salad! I love healthy Mexican food, it's not always so easy to find. Great tacos are easy to find here, lots of little authentic taquerias in Redwood City which is just south, but more yummy/splurgy than healthy.Chipotle is a fresh chain (do you have them in SC?), and I can get a salad similar to yours there.

We didn't do anything for Cinco de Mayo this year, I think it was a Tuesday or Wednesday? Tough day.
